Description
Identity Theory by Peter J. Burke and Jan E. Stets is a comprehensive social psychological theory that explores people's identities, their sources in interaction and society, and their consequences for both individuals and society. This fully updated second edition of Identity Theory offers a detailed analysis of identity characteristics, the processes and outcomes of identity verification, and the operation of identities. The authors examine how emotional, behavioral, and cognitive processes shape our multiple identities, which are influenced by various positions in society and organizations, as well as interactions with others in groups and organizations. Written in an accessible style, this revised edition provides a clear understanding of this powerful theory, making it suitable for readers at all levels.
